Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey is amazing!!! We got married in January and did photos outside. Everyone was freezing and Kelsey made the experience fun, and didn’t complain about the cold once! She was so easy to work with and got along with our wedding party so well. Everyone loved her! Our photos are absolutely stunning and I am still obsessing over them a year later! I highly recommend Kelsey for all of your big life events that you want beautifully captured!

WE ARE KATIE & DEVIN. We're in love & we shoot other people in love. It's hard to call just one place home. We're born and raised in Wisconsin, but there are pieces of our hearts in both Colorado and California, the two places where we have traveled the most together. We specialize in couples who are madly in love and who have a sense of humor. We prefer to tell your story, rather than make another generic love story. We want to capture raw emotions. We want you to giggle and we want you to dance.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would hire Degroot Film again and again. We had such a great experience with Katie & Devin for our wedding. They were responsive, had fair prices, and took the most beautiful photos. The quality of their work is top notch. I highly recommend Degroot Film for any type of photoshoot, but especially for weddings. You will not be disappointed!

Whimsical Roots Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Waukesha, WI

Over 200 times since 2013, I’ve hopped out of bed in the morning with butterflies in my stomach & stars in my eyes as I’ve loaded up my camera bag & headed out the door to capture a beautiful wedding day. I help sophisticated couples like you celebrate this iconic chapter in your journey by creating sincere images that look & feel true to life, & true to you. Your love story is anything but ordinary, & you can trust that I will celebrate your connection with creativity & poise, in its own, unrivaled way.  Depend on me to ensure a relaxed & joyful experience that will transform the fleeting moments of your wedding day into treasured heirlooms.

Before we even got engaged, I had already started to look for wedding vendors as we would be planning our Wisconsin wedding from out of state. With so many photographers in the wedding game, it was hard to figure out exactly what we wanted until I came across Andrea and her Whimsical Roots page. I was immediately hooked and wanted to book her as soon as possible. It was clear from her style that she cared about her clients, and I wanted a wedding album that reflected that warmth and authenticity. From our first phone call, we adored Andrea. She was so easy to talk to and was eagerly waiting for the news when we officially got engaged. Throughout our engagement, Andrea kept up with us, making sure things were going well in the planning process and even sent us a New Years greeting card – truly above and beyond! When it came to wedding day, Andrea was an absolute angel. I did not think about how many quiet, raw moments I would be alone with just a photographer and videographer on wedding day: reading a letter from my soon-to-be-husband, taking bridal shots on a back porch, and waiting in a back room before finding my dad for our grand entrance. It was such a comfort to have Andrea be the person who was with me in those tender moments. Her presence was a gift for which I will forever be grateful. Once the main events started, Andrea was a rockstar as she navigated a semi-public space, a boat ride that was pretty bumpy, and an entire event outside with the sunlight fading too quickly. She made everything look easy and kept such a positive, energetic attitude the entire day. We still talk about how much we laughed while taking photos because she made it so fun! The turn around time for our final photos was quicker than we expected, and we are so blessed to have such beautiful, timeless works of art to remember our special day.

Bella Luz Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $565
  • Serves Waukesha, WI

After beginning in 35mm film and practicing the art of photography on the side all my life, I took a severance package over a change in position when my corporate job was being downsized. That was 2017, and I have only earned my living through a lens since then. Bills, pandemics and doubters - be damned. I am still here, and I am here for you.

Bella Luz Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent - they were highly professional, skilled, and insightful in understanding our vision. On the day of the wedding, they captured every moment with a fantastic, artistic eye, providing incredible value through their visual storytelling. Kevin, the lead photographer, was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend Bella Luz Photography to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photos that will beautifully preserve the memories of their special day. Kevin is GREAT!!!

From stolen glances to cheeky kisses and getting loose on the dance floor, I'll be there to document your love story. I'll even make sure to snap authentic moments that may've slipped by unnoticed - they're the best ones! Whether you want me to inconspicuously lurk in the shadows, snapping candid shots, or be right up front, rounding everyone up for group photos, I'll be the chameleon you need on the day. Either way, I'll be behind the lens, not missing a beat. When you look through the photos memories will come to life and it'll be as though you're right there doing it all over again.

Welcome! I'm Steve! Creativity should be about showing you the usual things unusually. It should be about using everything at that moment to produce something unique...ultimately, it's about dragging your client towards something bigger and better than they expect. It's about giving them experiences and photographs that belong on rock albums and movie posters!

Steve Bowman Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, his communication was quick, informative, and friendly. The quality of his work was stellar - they captured the most beautiful, artistic, and detail-oriented photos that we will treasure forever. They were able to get us our fully edited photos the same night, which was incredibly impressive. The best example is, the stunning family photo they took of my husband, daughter, and I - it's now my new favorite of the three of us and I can't stop looking at it. He also took incredible shots of my husband and I throughout the day that I'm so grateful to have. Plus, he made the whole experience easy and fun! We had a great time getting our pictures taken together for a first look before the ceremony. The value he provided was unbeatable, and we'll absolutely be using him again in the future. Steve Bowman Photography is simply the best!

We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful.
